Farewell
My little familiar. My little shadow. You found me in the snow nine years ago and since then you brightened up my life every single day. Endless hours you sat at my side and kept me company, through good times and bad. I would never have made it these last few years without you and your companionship. Your friendship. You knew my heart better than most humans ever have or will.
And now I have to do it all without you...
Your quick little patter and calls to greet me at the door every day will be replaced with silence. The little warm spot you created at the end of my bed will be cold. I already keep looking at my feet for you and remember that you're gone. Who will sit vigil over me now, little one? And who could ever be as vigilant as you?
I miss you so much, Ashley. Rest in peace, my dearest friend.
